Matt Gaetz
A US House Ethics Committee's report into Matt Gaetz has found substantial evidence he paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl and used illicit drugs while in office.
It says the former Florida congressman, who was at one point Donald Trump's nominee to lead the US justice department, violated multiple state laws.
Mr. Gaetz denies wrongdoing and says "the people investigating me hated me".
The Justice Department also investigated the claim involving sex with a minor, but did not file any criminal charges against him.
Gaetz resigned from Congress in November after Trump nominated him for attorney general, but he withdrew from consideration after backlash from both Democrats and Republicans.
